Questions people ask about pickup soccer in Boston
Where can I play pickup soccer in Boston?+
At the public parks and facilities listed on this page. The first host to post a game picks one, and the game then shows here with its address.
Do I need a team to play?+
No. You reserve one spot and the host puts the teams together at the field. Most players come alone.
What level are the games, and can beginners or players over 30 join?+
Mixed. These are adult pickup games and most welcome any level. When a host wants experienced players only, the game says so on its page.
How much does it cost, and are there free games?+
Every game shows its price on the card, and Free shows where the price would be. Paid games cover the field, and you pay when you reserve or at the field, depending on the host.

Boots or turf shoes, water, and a light and a dark shirt so teams are easy to sort.
Is there a referee?+
No. It is pickup: the host runs the game and balances the teams, and players call their own fouls.
